Some of what Bush has done is posted on the whitehouse.gov site...I do hope you take the time to read it...for ex. "Since President Bush Took Office, We Have Increased Funding For Border Security By 66 Percent And Expanded The Border Patrol From About 9,000 To 12,000 Agents. Over the past five years, we have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering America illegally.

" Over the past five years, we have apprehended and sent home more than 6 million people entering America illegally."

That's all well and good. But, 500,000 get through each year-which means on President Bush's watch-3 million illegals have unlawfully entered the country.
God knows how many Clinton welcomed with open arms.
I am a card carrying Bushbot, but, I honestly believe that President Bush has completely blown this issue.
I will not be surprised to see the next round of polls set a record for low numbers.
The White House had a great opportunity to hit a home run and instead, they forfeited.

Nice stats,

but he's not posting the stats of actual enforcement activity, particularly with employers, which on every measure has been in steep decline since he took office.

The numbers hired is smoke to the results achieved which is abysmal and extremely lower than even under Clinton.
